This is an excellent explanation. Also worth adding that Ethereum moved to "proof of stake" a while ago, so nobody is buying GPUs to mine Eth at this point, whatever effect they have (if any) on current GPU prices has a time limit on it. There are other cryptos which use GPU mining, but they are not particularly popular and couldn't absorb much of the miner exodus when Ethereum switched to PoS.

I might be misunderstanding but based on the language of the article and it’s source, it’s talking about basically a knockoff add on to the Freestyle Libre 2, which itself is an arguably inferior tech to the Dexcom which has been around for years - and already synced with Apple Watch and some fitbits.

So while it has definitely been a game changer for a lot of us, Samsung’s several years late to that party.
